Well iv'e had the chassis for a year nearly now so at Xmas i decided it was time to start the rebuild. I was oping to have it all done buy now but have been suffering with back problems so things have gone a lot slower than i wanted.Anyways here's some pics of the progress so far...

I thought they were just standard on all 200 tdi's.Mine has no aircon but i have the 3 grooves.

Thats a shame as mine is also one of the last 200 TDIs and has disc's and 24 spline axles on.:)

Yes they should fit as yours is a 93 same as mine so should have the 24 spline axles and discs on the rear. without googling it i think they are from chassis number LA930

Mine is a 1993 90 200 tdi and has about 250k on it,odometer stopped counting at 240k that was 18 mth ago.:D

Cheers David I have seen it on a few FB pages,I will be popping along to have a nosey.:)

You need the other type bonnet prop,I had the same problem.i was lucky and had all the brackets on my bonnet so it was just a case of making the prop,some defenders don't have the brackets though.

Yes it is stable as you still use the bracket on the other side of the header tank.Yes it is a second servo for the clutch and i made a bracket to mount it to the bulkhead so it does't move.

Just space it out with some threaded bar and slide some tube over it to make it solid.

Fair enough but as Sue has said not for this trip.

I think you will find that it is aimed at you drewster.As you can see there is a certain person on this trip and i think i can speak for everybody in saying that we don't want any bad feeling awkwardness or any other sort of hassle on the trip.I think we have had enough of that over the last few...

Sue has done it before David but it will be my first time.Looking forward to it but like you say having seeing the videos i think it is more just to tick it of the list than the challenge.

I personally wouldn't do Frickley again,not a bad site but too many people who just turn up with clapped out motors and don't care who or what they hit.Also the mud will eat your car as the site is based around old coal mine and slag heaps.

Later Defender radius arms are the same 300tdi or very late 200tdi one's.

Me for both.:)

I remember the last time,was it less than an hour in there.

Good pics:D:D.Yes had a great day out and again thanks to everybody involved it was nice to meet new people.:D:D

Yep i'd go with a silicon sealant as above tiger seal is more used for bonding.If like me you have to take the snorkel pipe of to change the air filter tiger seal would make it a bitch of a job.

They are just don't want to damage it:eek: Took it to Tong pay and play and I thing a few people were surprised at what it could do.

Neither is my Touareg Paul but i'm leading the newbie group in it.:D
